TAILORING THE DRYVIT MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS TO YOUR PROJECT

These specifications cover all the common ways of using the Outsulation Plus MD System. Most projects use only a few of the possible combinations of these materials and methods. To tailor the specifications to your project, simply use those sections which apply. Also, it may be prudent to place certain parts of the Dryvit Outsulation Plus MD Specification in other parts of the project’s total specification, such as sealants and framing. The project design professionals are responsible for ensuring that the project specifications are suitable for the project. For assistance in preparing your specification, contact your Dryvit Distributor or Dryvit Systems, Inc.

UNITS

Standard International Units (SI) are included in parentheses after the English equivalents thus:
